<div>Using the novel’s own words as its starting point, Clifford’s adaptation thrillingly recreates Dicken’s classic story of love and mystery while losing none of the original’s haunting power. Pip longs to be a gentleman, but he is haunted by the memory of the mysterious Magwitch, and his love for the bewitching Estella seems to be just another dream.</div>
